7heavn: Why don't you have the R32 anymore?

Brad: What's with the OMG? It's not like you haven't seen a huge burnout pic of the 200 :rolleyes:

Adam: What was JETT's mph?

Definitely can't wait for the next one. The rotor guys are also pleased with the day and are eager for another day.

forall those interested,

JETT got towed straight to workshop with potential spun bearing,

1st run) was 11.1 @ 129mph without gas and 7000 rpm launch

2nd run) was 8500rpm launch with gas engaged but forgot to put it back into 4wd from rwd burnout, think maybe did some damage there bouncing off the limiter in 3 gears

3rd run) everything was ready but after burnout heard a knocking so limped it down the track for a 28second pass, my new personal best,

So now jett is at workshop getting rebuild and selling with new internals, if anyone interested in buying after reuild let me know, price will be reasnable.

Jett did at least one 11.1 before breaking.

I just couldn't get proper smoke happening or good launches.  Crap 60 footers and no smoke burnouts don't make for good pics I guess.

I told you mate, you have to step on the brake to stop the car moving forward to do a burnout. You can't just step on the gas and hope it stays in one spot.

We should get Adrian to give SAU'ers lessons on how to do burnouts, because considering that you were told in no uncertain terms that you could burn the entire length of the track if you felt the need, 99% of the burnouts done by SAU'ers left a lot to be desired :chairshot :bonk:

That's a bloody awesome time - congrats to all involved with the car.

I actually had one run against you and I felt like I was standing still when you passed me half way down the quarter. I have to say that I now have an even greater appreciation of the raw speed of a legitimate 10sec car. That thing is a machine :rolleyes:

Thanks brendan.......i was thinking as i was roaring past, how bloody good would that sound, a 10 sec car screaming past at full noise.......i think awesome summed it up.

A huge thanks goes to our tuner Jim Souvas, who took time out from being with his family to attend....also a big thanks to Tom Miyamae our suspension expert. The boys from Croydon Racing Developments have helped in taking this car to the next level of performance....10.3 is a great achievement for what is essentially a home built car. Further development in key areas will hopefully see DIRT/CRD with an RH9, 2530 powered GTR.

i sat on it heaps of times merli !!

does the beemer sit on the brake?

also wouldnt mind seeing your pics from the day!

Nope... Those 19" Pirellis are waaaaaaay too expensive to abuse like that :rolleyes:

Someone donate an R32 GTR for me to play with :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

Hey Andrew, where are your pics.... i would be certain you got some awesome pics you could share with us all :rolleyes::D

here is a small vid of the 200 if anyone is interested.... you can faintly here Merli telling Andrea "now thats how you do a burnout!!!!!" hehehe

I hope that works by right clicking on it...

I think I'm going to have to find a carpark to practice in :O

I think I'll have to do the same thing next time. I've never really attempted 'burnouts' in the Skyline before and was only getting the hang of it by the end of the day :D

So, are there anymore pics/vids from the day? Seemed like there were a heap of people taking pics at the track, but I haven't seen that many posted up as yet :O

im gonna get some burnout training...cant stay off the limiter in 2nd...may have to try a 3rd gear burnout. Stood next to brad after his and his tyres sounded like flypaper....very sticky indeed!.

The quest for 9's

Car has 6 more psi to be dialed into it = more power. Have lined up a HKS ETC-EDA for more front drive, and have a spare transfer case to get modified to 12 clutch plates instead of 7. Didnt think i'd say this but "we will run 9's in this car"

your going to need a 4WD controller so you can make it a 2WD for the burnout Paul.... i dont know if its the right thing for a car such as yours, but a toggle switch would be ideal.... once its in 2WD the burnout will come really easy. I wouldnt suggest dumping it in 3rd as i think thats what has damaged the clutch in the 200 :O:( will find out soon enough though....

Once it gets more boost and a tune you will run 9's and it will be great to see it happen :O:) You just need to teach Stacey how to drive the car harder :D:)

    • This was amazing and something I feel like a lot of younger enthusiasts, like myself, need to hear. I've been observing a local dyno shop spitting out 650-800HP RBs but when looking at their graphs, the car is basically dead until 5-6k RPM when it skyrockets.     I’ve decided to change my goal and go for that 450whp mark and aim for quick spool, responsiveness, and practicality (I can't afford my engine being a consumable, haha). Now, looking for the best suitable turbo for this application, I'm considering: • Garett GTX3076R Gen 2 ( .62 or .82) • Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2  ( .62 or .82), room for improvement later? • HyperGear ATR43SS2 ( .62 or .82) • Pulsar PSR3076  ( .62 or .82) • Pulsar PSR3576 ( .62 or .82), room for improvement later? Any recommendations? I know the HyperGear and Pulsar aren’t name brands but they’re sure budget friendly    
    • Can you bypass the damper as well, it can also fail
    • Oops, guess I accidentally deleted the last digit of the video ID. This one drives me nuts. VCT is such a big advantage for basic driveability and it costs very little to do. It's not like we're dealing with an E60 M5 with its dedicated high pressure VVT oil pump + hydraulic line carrying 1000+ psi and all that fun stuff. I also see a lot of people speak poorly about EGR and try to delete it in modern GDI engines. The problem is modern GDI relies on cooled high pressure EGR to improve timing margin at high load + RPM. So unless you're compensating for it by raising octane you have to completely retune when it's deleted.
    • Yeah, I was just trying to show on camera that the manifold is pulling enough vacuum through that hose to pull the diaphram in the stock fpr but couldn't really hear it on film.  Yeah, it's strange. Fuel should be by-passing through the reg to exit back into the tank thus reducing the fuel pressure: Sorry for my awful drawing here (I like to make diagrams to understand it better 🤪) The (temporary) fuel gauge is plumbed between the fuel filter and dampner. I've already eliminated the possible cause of restriction that the return line might have had and it's not that because I placed a long hose from the FPR (exit from the fuel rail), by-passing the 2nd dampner and return line, then straight into the filler fuel cap (as seen on my first vid). And it was still at 50 psi. Which means that I have a fuel restriction between the 1st dampner and the FPR.  Possible causes: Blockage/restiction in the 1st dampner: I know it's not this because I've swapped it out to a known working one from a spare complete neo engine sitting in the shed. Blockage/restiction in the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR): Also, can't be this because I swapped it out to a known working one from the other engine.  Blockage/restriction in the fuel rail and fuel rail's lines: this could probably be the case. Maybe red rubber grease got in there when I changed the injectors (with new seals) a year ago? Who knows. The only way to know is if I take the bastard off and inspect it (or swap it to the other spare one), which I think I will just have to do.  Injectors causing a restriction in fuel causing high pressure? Could this be? I wouldn't think so? Because even if injectors were completely blocked, fuel would just by-pass them through to the FPR and exit? Let me know if I'm wrong though. Because if that's the case, it could explain some weird electrical shit where the injectors aren't opening enough or something.  Air bubbles in fuel rail? Can this be a thing? Could air get trapped inside the fuel rail and cause high pressure? Shouldn't though right? Faulty pressure gauge? I just grabbed this old pressure gauge that was sitting in our toolbox at work. I'm going to buy another gauge and see if I get the same result just incase. But it reads the priming correctly at 40ish psi. idk... The spare rb25det neo engine that we have in the shed came out of my brother's R34 that was working perfectly fine before we pulled it out to slap a rb30/25det neo in there. It also has the same xsprut 640cc injectors on the fuel rail still. So I might have to swap them out and see what it does. 😮‍💨
    • Yep, like how people insist VCT does nothing, delete them OR say how twin scroll is a waste of time.
